Rae and Charlie are absolutely fantastic hosts! If you want a country, tropical, secluded stay close to just about everything, stay here! Our kids loved the pool, which was always clean! We loved being surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature, while still being able to access the Chatuchak Weekend Market with ease! Rae is a wonderful communicator, and as hosts, Rae and Charlie demonstrate intuition rarely seen in hosts. Weeks before our stay, Rae wrote us to ask what we were interested in, what we were excited to do in Bangkok, and if we had any needs or requests ahead of time. We felt like we knew Rae and Charlie before we met them! When one of our family members became sick, Charlie volunteered to take us to the hospital if need be. Maps were provided for us, taxi cards were shared with us, and we were able to take public transportation to pretty much everything. My favorite part of the stay was the walk along the canal, being greeted by local Thai families and sampling local foods. My kids loved the pool, the frogs along the path, the snails that came out at night on the sidewalk, and the freedom to explore nature. My wife liked the huge stilted deck off the front of the house we stayed in. There were two tables on the deck sitting underneath an overhang with a ceiling fan above them. We had breakfast there every morning and dinner there every evening, rain or shine! When I searched for properties to rent for the week, I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of places to choose from. While I'm sure there are great properties everywhere, Rae and Charlie are difference makers, and their property is one-of-a-kind! If you have a family, this is an absolute WIN!
